Do we have any useful tool command to duplicate an existing cell easily?
Now I make a new cell, copy patterns and cell name of the existing cell and paste them to the newly created cell.
Since it takes a little extra work, I hope to know a effective way.

The feature *copy current cell* under utilities/cell_tool will do exactly that. The command from the command line for it is *copyCurrentCell*. ( [https://layouteditor.org/layoutscript/api/drawingfield](https://layouteditor.org/layoutscript/api/drawingfield#44)

Thank you so much for support. Do we have any shortcut key to it?

There is no default shortcut key for it ( [https://layouteditor.org/info/shortcuts](https://layouteditor.org/info/shortcuts) ). But you can set a shortcut for it via a macro: [layout::setShortcut](https://layouteditor.org/layoutscript/api/layout#47)
